    Re: Microsoft to delay, again?

    Re: Microsoft to delay, again?

    You obviously haven't considered how most big businesses control their software upgrades. Most big companies waited years before adopting XP and won't adopt Vista until it's been tested and proven...

    Re: ATI and AMD are planning to merge

    It's good this way. Intel makes the best processors and nVidia makes the best GPUs. With the second tier together, they have a better chance of catching up.

    Re: Debian and ubuntu, again

    I hate the "giving back" BS. Have some common sense. The Ubuntu source code is open. If these "programmers" can develop Debian then they are surely deft enough to use the source code to find...

    Re: direction of ubuntu/linux distros

    Some distros like SUSE and Ubuntu look pretty nice. SUSE and MEPIS have nice fonts. I think KDE4 will be nice as well.
